Mrs. Patmore (and everyone else at Downton Abbey): A house of ill repute????

Fits of giggles both upstairs and downstairs served as some welcome levity to this wonderful episode.

Anna: No, and I'm not laughing but...Bates: But you're laughing.

Carson: And what makes you think you'll be any good (at teaching)?Mr. Molesley: I don't know exactly. Perhaps because I want it so much.Carson: There are plenty of little boys who want to be famous cricketers. It's not enough to make them champions.Mr. Molesley: I just want to try, Mr. Carson.Carson: And so you shall.

Lord Grantham: A genuine, copper-bottomed marquess for Edith. Who'd have thought it? If anyone had told me Mary would hitch up with a mechanic and Edith would marry one of the grandest men in England, I'd have knocked them down.Lady Cora: Mary has got rid of her mechanic and Edith is not yet married.Lord Grantham: I know. But for poor old Edith who couldn't make her dolls do what she wanted, it is rather wonderful.

Tom: We'll all bow and curtsy to Edith. You'll enjoy that Mary.Lady Mary: Hardly! And if Bertie IS Lord Hexham, which I still don't believe, he won't want to marry her now.Lady Cora: Careful. People will think you're jealous dear. We don't want that.

********************************************************************************Anna: She loves him but she can't control him. That's what frightens her. He's stronger than she is, really.Mr. Bates: She's a bit of a bully, your Lady Mary. She likes her own way.

Lady Edith: I know you! I know you to be a nasty, jealous, scheming bitch!Lady Mary: Now listen, you pathetic-Lady Edith: You're a bitch!

Lady Edith: You're wrong as you so often are. Henry's perfect for you. You're just too stupid and stuck up to see it! Still, at least he got away from you. Which is something to give thanks for, I suppose!

I read Jane Austen's books several times. She is so talented! I also like watch fantasy films. My favorite one is Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. I'm really obsessed with the main character Jacob. It's a great fairy tale for family watching. So if want to plunge into adventure with Jacob go to:miss-peregrines-home-for-peculiar-children-2016You should see this an amazing story! xoxo)
